As for the 3D printer components themselves, Wayne is using an E3D V6 Titan Extruder with an MKS SBase controller and an MKS TFT using Smoothieware. Currently, the printer is just a prototype for what will end up being an even larger printer with the addition of extension pieces to increase the height of the Z axis, a heat bed and an enclosure.

From here, Wayne plans on modifying the kit to adapt to other tables in the IKEA LACK lineup with an Instructables write-up currently in the works.
